Bioremediation of organic contaminants has become a major environmental concern in the
last few years, due to its bio-resistance and potential to accumulate in the environment. The …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mainly produced by combustion processes
and consist of a number of toxic compounds. They are always emitted as a mixture and have …

Purpose The objective of this study was to evaluate the mutual relations between the soil
organic matter (SOM) fractions: fulvic acids (FA), humic acids (HA), humins (HN), black …

Contaminated sediments can pose long-term risks to human beings and ecosystems as they
accumulate inorganic and organic contaminants becoming a sink and source of pollution …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major group of toxic pollutants in urban
areas. We calculated the critical concentrations of PAHs in the urban soils of Nanjing, China …

Purpose The aim of the research was to assess the effect of biochar addition on aging,
degradation, and sorption processes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to soil …

Sedimentary organic pollution in the urban reaches of the Thames estuary is changing from
fossil fuel hydrocarbons to emerging synthetic chemicals. De-industrialisation of London …

The level of 16PAH accumulation was determined in 75 soil samples collected from two
agricultural regions of Poland corresponding to the smallest Polish administrative unit at the …

The effects of “salting out” on the sorption and desorption of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coastal sediment were investigated. The sorption and desorption …

PAH bioaccessibility in contaminated soil was determined using the organic physiologically
based extraction test with the inclusion of a sorption sink. Silicone cord was incorporated …
